Chris Christie stands up!

A truly remarkable man who has been mocked for his weight, his conservative values, his belief that government is out of control, Chris Christie, newly elected governor of New Jersey is a wonder to behold. Powerline has a great commentary about him. The video of Christie is awesome.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has only been on the job since January, but he is already engaged in a death struggle with New Jersey's public sector unions. He is articulate, combative, committed, spirited. He does not shy away from the fight. I don't think we've seen his like in quite a while. If he survives and/or prevails, he will be an unstoppable force.

I can't get enough of the guy. In the video below, he addresses his issues with the New Jersey teachers' union at a town hall meeting in Robbinsville. I'm not entirely sure what all the shooting is about; here is a Star-Ledger story with some relevant background.
